The Spice
To Use
When Rooting Plants In
Your Garden
By DANIELLE RAMOS-SULLIVAN
Turmeric is an invaluable addition to your plant’s soil because it promotes root growth, and protects roots against root rot.
When you prepare your soil for planting in a
pot, simply sprinkle 1 tablespoon of powdered turmeric into the soil and mix it thoroughly before you add the new cuttings.
Plant the cutting as you normally would, and water it evenly to ensure the soil is moist in all areas. Your plant should reap the benefits of the spice-enriched soil shortly after.
